Biography

The Clog Barn was a caravan park when Dutch immigrant Tom Hartsuyker purchased it in 1983. He began transforming the business into a celebration of Dutch heritage with the addition of clog-making equipment the following year. In 1985, with the help of son John, Tom completed a miniature Dutch village. A coffee shop serving Dutch cuisine was added in 1988.
